Harmony

I wrote this poem after watching the news a few nights ago. It got me thinking and wondering why it's so hard for people on our planet to just get along and accept each other as equal. Our world could be such an amazing place if only people learned to get along.

I gaze upon the nighttime shy As the pitch-black aura overcomes The sweltering heat of day

The stars rise above the trees Their glittering essence makes me wonder How many others Are looking upon them too

I lie in the grass So calming the night's quietness The ever so peaceful presence Of the always shining stars

Why can't it always be this way? Every trouble turned to dust All your worries are gone The pain has diminished

Life would be so much easier No war or fighting Every one's the other equal All hate would slowly disappear The world in harmony Living as one
